Take Winged Foot for example:
Most holes have subtle doglegs with trees on either side of the fairway, placing a premium on accuracy off the tee, but also on the second shot. Thick rough bordering the greens requires precise placement, and many of the greens are also heavily bunkered.
For a right-handed golfer, you need to hit a draw on 16, cut on 17, and a draw on 18. If you blow one too far off, not only do you have the rough, but trees to deal with.
Where is the requirement for shotmaking on these Mike Davis specials?
